"Yeah. That's what a clonetrooper is." Although nobody here had any idea what he was talking about.

"Don't know how many of us there are, but it's enough for a whole galactic war." There were millions. At the very least. "Indoctrinated and altered to make us not question it. Except they messed up with me, I guess." And just him. Just him. All the lies should've been obvious to anybody who got deployed to Geonosis, seen brothers in shiny new armor get blasted to pieces because of the Jedi. They'd been raised to believe Jedi could do no wrong, and then they'd turned out to be fucking clueless wizards who had no idea how to lead troops, and everybody was stuck with one as their CO.

And still everybody acted like it was great, even guys like Chopper who had half their face blown open. Sure, life was hell now, but they had the Jedi on their side! They couldn't possibly lose!

His face was starting to ache from the tension in his jaw. He took a deep breath. He was still in public. Keep it together.

That moron from earlier must've really gotten to him. "If I get stuck at another one of these parties and some clueless civvie starts asking for exciting stories, they're in for it."
